Ford bolt pattern rotors for disc conversion

Just thinking through my plan here. I have a Ford 9" sitting and waiting to swap out my tube rear on my 49. And I have Ford steelies.
With my desire to switch to disc in front I got to thinking since I'll need rotors why not get them in a Ford pattern? Then I can run the wheels I have as well as not having to pull axles and haul them around bla bla.
So is there such a thing ? I found a couple old threads mentioning it. But so far came up dead ends.

I could mess with bearings like this HAMB thread talks about but it kinda scares me.

Are you just converting the stock front suspension from drum to disc? If your going to update the front axle, it should be pretty simple.

Yep I gotta take the easiest road with this as its one of many projects.
For now driveable with good function is what I am after. Maybe down the road
if it keeps my interest I'd do a IFS. For now its mostly traditional with a few safety upgrades. Lowest time down sounds good too !
